I’m thinking of starting a blog or directory or wiki sorta thing to track the presence of Singaporeans in web communities.

I just thought of this after seeing that Singapore has more than 100 shops on Etsy.com. And they’re not inactive. It’s amazing that we have such a presence on a Brooklyn-based startup and I haven’t even heard of the company before till just now. I’m probably out of the loop for this kinda stuff, handmade and probably more for girls, but it’s just amazing.

I just bringing the Singaporeans on the web together. Whether there’s a logical or practical purpose in that, I’m not too sure.

Hmm.. While blogging my previous entry… I noticed that ScribeFire doesn’t handle multi-line preformatted text properly for some reason. I wonder what’s behind that. Forget that. Might’ve been some fluke. Weird.

Also, the Add a Link keyboard shortcut doesn’t work properly. The Ctrl M doesn’t do anything at all and Cmd M just minimizes the window (I’m on a Mac and it’s supposed to do that). If ScribeFire is opened in a window of it’s own, then Cmd M works. (but in a way, that breaks the window minimizing shortcut)

I also don’t like the fact that you can’t change the default font of the text you blog in.

After some encountering some problems using YubNub that I previously linked to the NoScript extension of Firefox, I noticed that OpenDNS might be the root of the problem. Initially, it was the anti-XSS feature of NoScript that was blocking the request.

The problem was: Some of my google searches being directed from YubNub, were being redirected to OpenDNS’s searches, which churned out useless results. I was using the “amr” command for searching Amazon Reviews.

Then I found these two forum threads.

That’s it for OpenDNS. I’m extremely irritated by this. I don’t like the idea of being under SingNet’s unreliable DNS. But this is extremely intolerable. It’s stupid. Now it’s time to look for a real Open DNS service.

Crap.

I just sent this to Google Notebook via their feedback box.

Back to work.
